Sylvaine Delacourte Vangelis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Sylvaine Delacourte and Irène Farmachidi. Vangelis opens with Clementine, settles into a heart of Almond, and dries down to a base of Cardamom, Cinnamon, Clove, and Vanilla. Sylvaine Delacourte's Vangelis carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive yet delightful, Vangelis isn't your average vanilla. It's a spicy, nuanced, almost medicinal journey that some will adore as a comforting signature, while others will find it just plain weird. Test before you commit, but if it works, it *really* works.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its moderate sillage and long-lasting nature make it versatile for many settings. While it's comforting enough for casual wear and unique for dates, the distinctive spicy and sometimes 'medicinal' character might be too bold for some formal environments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil from Clove

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Vangelis opens with a vibrant burst of clementine, quickly tempered by a subtle pepperiness and the warm, aromatic embrace of cardamom. The heart introduces a soft, powdery almond note, which some perceive as a curious medicinal edge. As it settles, a smooth, slightly smoky vanilla emerges, beautifully woven with hints of cinnamon and clove, creating a comforting yet sophisticated backdrop that avoids overt sweetness.
